NIGERIAN, DR B. ALIU EMERGES FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF ICAO



A Nigerian, Dr Olumuyiwa Babatunde Aliu has been elected President of the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

ICAO, is the umbrella world body for Aviation safety.
He was elected today at the 38th Assembly of the organisation in Montereal, Canada by the assembly, comprising 172 nations.
Dr Aliu is the first black man to head the world body. Nigeria’s delegation to the forum was lead by Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah.
A statement by FAAN spokesman, Yakubu Datti, said Dr Aliu’s success stems from government’s support and the goodwill he has built among ICAO member nations. Mr Datti said the feat further demonstrates the reforms in the aviation sector.
